I’m away from the office today, so Raul Fernandez, from the Howard Thurman Center is going to handle the C&C this afternoon – Raúl show ’em what you got: I have this week the unenviable task of filling in for Dean Elmore as the moderator of Coffee of Conversation. Well, as the great philosopher Eminem […]
Give me a great moment and I run to witness it. Jaw-dropping, tickle in your spine, hair standing on your arms, scream aloud go tell your friends moments of real joy can be hard to come by (or at least to discover every day). Even better, I love signifying about it when I run into […]
Last week marked a moment that happened forty-one years ago. The night before his murder, Martin Luther King, Jr. gave one of his incredible sermons.

I see great things in baseball. It’s our game–the American game. It will take our people out of doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us. Conventional wisdom attributes that statement to Walt […]

Julian J. turned me on to another great short piece on the Web. Taylor Mali is an old friend to many FYSOPers. He has been to campus to check us and to inspire. Here’s a wonderful visualization by Ronnie Bruce of one of Mali’s poems: Typography from Ronnie Bruce on Vimeo. Julian, Ronnie, and Taylor […]

No Coffee and Conversation session this afternoon, but we should still chat with each other. A couple of quick discussion points. Former Vice President Dick Cheney talking a little trash, but is he right? Compared to the previous one, as the current administration made America less safe?
